Today we rode out to Mt. Rainier and what a ride it was. Bob Opple, Ken Board and Tim Floersch taught us how to ride through the mountains. I don't know if I passed the test but I had the time of my life doing the "twisties and windies" in the park. It was another one of those rides where each turn in the road was a photo opportunity and we tried to capture as many as we could.
We left at 0730 in a rather thick fog that is apparently common to this area. But, Bob Opple promised us sun and he was true to his word. By the time we got close to the mountain the sun was out, the temperature was rising and it was time to shed leather for denim.
I can't begin to describe the exhiliaration of riding the twisting roads of Mt Rainier with its switchbacks and S curves.
The top photo is taken at Paradise on Mt. Ranier, the middle is Bob McManus at the same location and the bottom is Jim, Bob Opple and Ken Board.
